Emily Cousins had a client charged with drive in a manner dangerous, drive without due care, drive under the influence or intoxicating liquor and driving with a PCA.

The incident arose when the client took a corner and crashed his vehicle into a nearly shop front.

Upon police attendance, he blew a blood alcohol reading of 0.309.
